Nutrients for Egg Quality
Egg quality depends on whether developing eggs have access to the nutritional building blocks required to grow, mature, and divide properly. At any given time, more than one egg is maturing simultaneously, each drawing on available nutrients to support its...
Sperm Health Markers
Sperm health is often reduced to a single test result or a pass–fail outcome. In reality, sperm health reflects a series of biological processes that unfold over time.Markers of healthy sperm help describe how sperm are formed, supported, and maintained —...
Egg Reserve & AMH: The Numbers, Unlocked
Egg reserve is often spoken about as if it were a fixed store of eggs that can be counted, measured, and predicted. In reality, what we are trying to understand is ovarian activity — how many follicles are present, how many have left dormancy, and how many are...

Why AMH Is Not a Measure of Ovarian Reserve — and Should Not Be Used to Predict Fertility
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is now one of the most commonly used blood tests in fertility care. It is frequently presented as a way to assess ovarian reserve, predict future fertility, estimate time pressure, and guide decisions about egg freezing or IVF. Yet despite...
Food as Fuel and Nourishment: Why Fertility Needs Both
